"The Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, a photographer of great talent who worked in Taormina, Sicily at the turn of the century, is comparatively unknown today although his work is of the highest quality demonstrating a unique style that deserves a wide-spread recognition. Of the some 3000 photographs made by von Gloeden in his lifetime only a few hundred remain, the majority having fallen victim to a morality purge by Mussolini's Fascist police and destroyed. To date, only the travel books on Sicily and Taormina, von Gloeden's adopted home, have unwittingly shown the scope and beauty of his work. Yet his images stand as evidence of an enormous talent, a wonderful visual record of one man's dream of a perfect world." - from abstract.
